The review on this motel is not good. I have never stayed at a worse motel in my life. There is way to many residents who live there on a day to day basis. This is more like an apartment building than a motel. Very unprofessional in every way!

Positives: Nothing

Negatives: Noisy, rude staff, cops being called. people whooping and hollering all night every night.


Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Jul 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

We were disappointed in the shape of this hotel. It is long overdue for a remodel and the common areas were smelly and dirty. Although our room was acceptable, the hallways and entrances were gross.

Positives: Location to the highway.

Negatives: It was run down and dirty.


Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 11 Jul 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

This hotel had very friendly staff and a great slide in the pool. The rooms were average but the air conditioners need to be serviced and updated as they smelled musty and we woke up with stuffy noses.

Positives: My teenage boys loved the slide in the pool.

Negatives: I didn't like that the ice machines were only on the 2nd & 3rd floors.Rooms were OK but air conditioners needed updated, they smelt musty.

We were pretty upset with some of the things they did at this hotel. Memorial Day weekend, they cleaned the pool on Saturday night so it was closed, they served the same breakfast with biscuits and gravy every single day. The room cleaners forgot to finish cleaning our room so they brought sheets, towels etc. up for us so we had to do it all.

Positives: Good location.

Negatives: Same breakfast every day.


Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 29 Dec 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

This hotel was worth the price paid and met my expectations. The beds just need to be a little upgraded.

Positives: The pool and hot tub were excellent.

Negatives: The beds could be much more comfortable.


Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 03 Sep 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Overall this hotel was very compfortable and a pleasant stay.

Positives: The staff was very friendly and informative.

Negatives: The beds were hard and very low to the ground.


Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 22 Jul 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

Hallways and elevator were dirty. Needs a good cleaning and the carpet re-stretched or replaced. Our room was okay, but bathroom dirty. Shower head had hard water stains and something green growing in the knob for the water. Housekeeping comes by around 8am, too early. Oh, and they didn't give us any new towels or change the sheets, they just made the bed. The floor above us squeaked badly and every time the guests up there even walked on it it squeaked and woke me up. Some banging started at 5:30am and continued for the next hour straight and woke me up. The pool is very small and crowded. Not open long at all and the water-slide is only open from 4pm to 9pm. Hot tub is tiny and the tiles are falling off and water looked dirty. Never did find the free breakfast. No lounge area except for a couple chairs right in front of the front desk. Overall, not a place I would ever stay again or recommend to anybody.

Positives: Easy to find.

Negatives: Dirty!


Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 04 Feb 2009 rated 4 out of 10.

This hotel need a complete remodel. Our door leading to parking lot didn't shut completely, and we had a huge water leak from above in the middle of the night.

Positives: The room rate

Negatives: The water rushing through the bathroom room in the middle of the night


Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 04 Sep 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

This hotel was cheap and it showed. It was dirty. Our 7-month old had black knees and hands after crawling on the floor of our hotel room, the pool area had a cool slide but the slide and pool had a lot of rusty stains and were packed almost the whole time we were there, so it was hard for our 2-year-old to swim (the pool was packed with older kids). There was no room in the dining area for us to sit in the morning for the breakfast - they only had a few small tables and a long line of people trying to get food. Plus the walls and door were so thin we could hear almost everything going on in the hall and nearby rooms.

Positives: The big slide at the pool was nice.

Negatives: Not very clean.

The 180' water slide is nothing special. It dumps into a very small pool which made it very dangerous for the swimmers and water sliders. The maximum # of people in the pool was about 8 before you were running into each other.

Positives: Staff.

Negatives: 180' water slide and pool were a joke. Small and awful.

We have stayed at this hotel before. It is in an adequate location. The pool is nice for families. The free breakfast is not bad, although a little variety from day to day would be nice. Overall I think it is a good value and we will probably stay there again.

Positives: My daughter likes the slide, although the pool was crowded this visit.

Negatives: The hallways were very warm, but the room was comfortable, so this is okay.

I thought everything was great, except the temperature of the pool. The continental breakfast was very good. The breakfast help worked diligently to keep things stocked up.

Positives: The people at the front desk were awesome, so was the breakfast help.

Negatives: I hated the pool, it was very cold. More room in the breakfast area.
